I know I can adapt, I've used single and dual screens on and off for quite some time. It seems pretty foolish to not spring for the second screen, even a small fraction of a percent of productivity gains would pay back the expense of the screen, its power, etc. within months.
I guess you might not be interested in working for them anyway. Someone with a family more likely to avoid working 12 hour days for a start-up if they can find a job that lets you have a life. Startups are relatively risky, you balance current pain for the possibility of a good payoff later, but you don't know if the company will exist later to reap those rewards.
It does seem pretty silly to consider large percentage of a prospective talent pool contaminated of a sort for mentioning experience with a certain platform. I just get the feeling that it is a lazy and crude way of weeding out applicants to narrow the applicants. I can see his point, but I wouldn't criticize it so heavily, it might not be a good indicator of quality of talent
The part I don't get is how Android, Chrome and Chrome OS is "scorching the earth for 250 miles around Google". What are those offerings doing that prevent a viable search competitor from rising?
It's not the end of the world, but they're implying them as an endorsement by people in the field. The fact that the video says it's an "interview project" and list actual real names and but stretched or faked occupations, is pretty shady in my opinion.
Normally, we can assume they're all actors, but this isn't stretching the truth, this is a more flagrant dishonesty. The ad tells you that these are people and plainly gives you their "occupation" in a visual language that they are clearly trying to tell us they're real people and their real occupation, when it's not the case. The names they give are the actor's real names, which really muddies the waters in my opinion, give the actor's real names but fake their occupation.
This is why checks and balances are supposed to be good. For when there are legitimate secrets, there should be oversight. The problem is, you're dealing with humans, and the oversight mechanisms have flaws.
There isn't much point to buying masks and iodine pills if you're not in Japan or known to be immediately downwind, and taking iodine doses without qualified medical advice to do so is a very bad idea, the news reports I saw said as much.
The radiation will be spread so thinly that there won't be any health effects in Europe.
Cheaper than what? Did you read the article? WISPs aren't a panacea, $300 installation per customer and $80 a month for broadband speeds and latencies you'd find a decade ago. And it created maybe two jobs for the county. Having tried something like this on a small scale, it's not a solution that easily attracts investment, and having seen other WISPS operate, it often does not attract much entrepreneurial interest either, it becomes more about helping the community than earning money because the money really isn't there for the debt and stress that the operation causes.
I'd be curious what it really cost South Korea to roll out nationwide fiber, and what it gained them.
In the states, ingredient listing is mandatory, but I don't know if listing requirements are as strict as those in Europe.
The Stallmanist open source food equivalent is him cooking his own food or going to establishments that give him the recipe along with the food. The first is easy, the second is a lot harder, I don't think there are a lot of restaurants that share recipes.
I wondered what was up. It's really hard to understand an article summary when I don't know any of the nouns they use. Checking back, Lucene barely had any previous/. coverage, and SOLR gets even less.
Very interesting, but this kind of manufacturing is still incredibly slow and expensive. This is still proof of concept for consumer items, except for things like costly custom World of Warcraft figures. Several hours of machine time per part is expected, probably overnight for many of them. If you need to charge $1 to $2 a minute on the machine, you can tell costs can add up very quickly. Injection molded parts can be made in seconds, large one half a minute per cycle, Where it is useful is if rapid prototyping or if you only need a few very specific parts made, this process negates the need for an expensive injection mold isn't needed, saving tens of thousands of dollars per mold, and you can get parts made next day rather than waiting four months for the mold to be finished.
It might be making excuses, but wouldn't the Safari vulnerabilities also be found on the Windows version? After that, starting a program or writing a file might not be so difficult. Either way, it sounds like Apple needs to fix their software and their security focus.
You need to understand that mistakes can and do happen, and it's a very simple UI fix to prevent. As reply-all is something that should only rarely be used, it shouldn't be as easy to click as the single reply button, something that is probably used 99% of the time instead of reply-all, that's simply poor user interface design to do so. There is no need to have one rarely needed button with possibly serious consequences directly adjacent to the more benign button that most people intend to click anyway.
The difference is that MS had the vicarious learning opportunity, seeing the flak that Apple got for three years, and still released WP 7 without C&P. Apple users seem to buy the Apple company line or come up with their own reasons why it's not necessary, I don't know if Microsoft has that kind of pull with its users.
I get that, but if the point is that you're doing serious work, my point is that maybe a chip that can only run in a consumer system isn't the way to go, even if it's an expensive one. Doubly so for work that requires a lot of parallel operations, where you can get more sockets and cores running. Someone suggested that this chip doesn't have a Xeon counterpart yet, which surprises me, but if that's true, then there are some cases where this is the fastest chip for the job, at least for the next three months.
I don't pay much attention to socket/CPU combination either, it's been a long time since I did.
One thing that hasn't changed in a long time (since the end of Pentium II, I think) is that consumer Intel chips generally can't be put into multi-socket boards, meaning that it takes Xeons to get multiple sockets. AMD has similar concepts too, if you want a multiple socket AMD system, you want the Opteron, because it's not going to go easily with an Athlon chip. The kicker of it is that the basic silicon is often the same between Core and its Xeon equivalent, and Athlon and Opteron equivalent, but it's put into different packages and configured slightly differently to prevent people from doing this.
I really don't see how this rocket car and government highway subsidies are more than tangentially related. It just looks more like a random rant than anything else. I guess the best you can do is try to have everything you don't like taxed out of existence.
This has been a running issue for a few years now. I think it's largely because they want to make an example of Canada to convince them to pass the Canadian version of the DMCA.
I assume typo as you didn't repeat it. I thought the name is amusing.
But I agree, it's pretty bogus. Who is to say these marriages won't eventually break up for a different reason? Or, like the adage of straw on a camel, you might name the straw that broke its back, but that ignores the accumulated problems.
A historical figure is not, and cannot be, anyone's property. End of story.
Don't you mean should not be? Besides, it's not the person but the name. If his name really is a trademark, then you'd be wrong. But if it's your opinion that a person's name should not be trademarkable, then that's an opinion, and one that you're definitely entitled to have. It looks like the reality is that names can be trademarked. Also, it does look like these individuals are trading on the trademark because the name is used as part of the selling point of the product.
Starting off by throwing up dialog boxes and asking the user questions they cannot answer is NOT helpful and just reminds people that computers are hard to use.
I don't think that person had much influence in the design of the initial setup procedure. I didn't have the ballot box, and I recall that setting up a Windows 7 machine for the first time was more aggravating than it needed to be.
Fragmentation *shouldn't* be an issue, but on Windows it is, and OS X, it can be. It will fragment files even on a huge partition, even a fresh installation has a lot of fragmentation. OS X can fragment files a lot too, I have 6000 fragmented files on one particular drive. Supposedly OS X does move files around to prevent fragmentation, but it isn't very aggressive about it.
I had the impression that the OS will delete files from the recycle/trash if it needs the space, so there isn't a space requirement to delete files. If you're trying to eliminate incriminating files, then you'll need to take a special step for that anyway.
Still, don't you think it's suspicious that they tried to exempt such a huge spending project from FOI? I get real uneasy when projects start breaking from basic principles of good governance. Even if I like the reason for the project's being, that's no excuse for breaking from a fundamentally important principle.
